Abstract
Direct conversion of cellular fate provides a potential approach to generate cells of the hematopoietic lineage without the requisite reversion to a pluripotent state via somatic cell reprogramming. The utilization of this technology has enabled transcription factor-mediated conversion of somatic cell types to primitive and mature hematopoietic cells. Recent studies demonstrate that the direct conversion of somatic cells to the hematopoietic lineage likely requires the use of pioneer transcription factors to establish an accessible chromatin state that is responsive to enforced expression of hematopoietic-specific transcription factors, in combination with appropriate culture conditions that facilitate reprogramming. Developing adaptable, experimental strategies that incorporate these parameters should enable the efficient generation of human hematopoietic cells with translational potential.
